Abstract		The concept of behavioural or ethological needs of animals represents one group of behavioural models. Despite their dichotomization, both internal and external controls of behaviour have to be integrated. The development of a concept of behavioral needs has had a major impact on feeling-based research in animal welfare. The main criticism from a welfare point of view still remains that the concept of behavioural needs underestimates luxury behaviours and fails both to consider complex feedback from behaviour, and to provide a correlation between a need and suffering.
Summary		Vedenjske ali etološke potrebe pri živalih predstavljajo enega izmed etoloških modelov. Kljub njihovi dihotomizaciji je treba združiti tako notranje kot zunanje sisteme kontrole vedenja. Razvoj teorije o vedenjskih potrebah je pomembno vplival na raziskovalno smer, ki v središče dobrobiti živali postavlja njihove subjektivne občutke, npr. trpljenje. Glavna kritika s stališča dobrobiti živali je, da teorija o vedenjskih potrebah podcenjuje luksuzne vedenjske oblike, npr. igro, ne upošteva kompleksnih povratnih informacij vedenja ter ne zmore določiti sorazmerja med etološko potrebo in trpljenjem.
